Which is?

It means you have a right to your own opinion, right to your own beliefs, right to protest (as long as you are not disturbing the piece and trespassing, damaging any property) and disagree. It does not mean you can be rude and nasty, bully, slander, etc. Yep my mother taught me to treat people with respect. She even get mad at me when I bully other bullies but that rule never made sense why I had to be nice to them too. But then she turns around one day and tells me how to stand up to one of my bullies by telling him to look the words "stupid" "dumb" "idiot" and "ugly" in the dictionary and it has a picture of him. She also did the same with my other friend who was now my former friend. I don't know why it all of a sudden came okay to do that to bullies but before I couldn't even bug them.
But it seems like lot of people think freedom of speech gives them the right to bully and be mean, slander, etc. and I say they take it too literal and my shrink agrees and so do some of my online friends and my mother I have told so far. But when I say this forum allows freedom of speech, I always add the word "literally."

Yes well, you see, im my country people think they have freedom of speech, but we don't really.

I think that if anything the opposite holds true.
Actually, neither. You are the one looking for empty drama, not me *or* McJ.
